Cole said she had been nervous about her modern dance debut, which she had devised with the help of a friend, but said collaborating with Dame Vivienne was "not even work" as she enjoyed it so much.

"I'm doing it for the love of it... and to try to communicate the values we both believe in," said Cole. "I also did it because it scared me. I've never danced live before. I think it's important to challenge yourself in life."

The Topshop Unique show also attracted celebrities to the front row, with those in attendance including Kate Moss, singer Ellie Goulding and model Pixie Geldof.

Geldof said of the collection: "I like that it's for everybody and it's not snobby. I think it's very good, very British. I don't think it should be exclusive."

Head designer Emma Farrow said she had been inspired by "the ultimate summer", and the idea of "every girl's perfect holiday". Geometric prints, mirror detail and shirt dresses all featured on the catwalk, with a colour palette of azure blue and emerald green.
